Swiss Alps
One of the most exhilarating and hair-raising roads to drive or road-cycle in Europe runs between Interlaken and Lugano, slicing straight through the heart of the Swiss Alps. This journey crosses the Central Alps via legendary high passes like the Grimsel Pass, Furka Pass, and Gotthard Pass. Each ascent delivers tight switchbacks, plunging valleys, and sudden revelations of glaciers, dams, and sky-high ridgelines. It is a road that demands attention and rewards courage
As I climbed into the switchbacks, the road narrowed and the world fell away. Each curve demanded my full attention, hands tight on the wheel. The engine hummed, the air thinned, and time slowed, curve by curve, as I earned each view and every moment of forward progress.
